Yes I remember that one. Gorillas are very kind to humans when they are being studied with respect.
This clip is stand out for me in that we know the Gorilla is being rational and not ripping the guy apart.

I do also think that Jesus was also stating the obvious, he just phrased it really well. I don't think Christianity can monopolise a natural instinct which is what religions do. I believe this is called empathy which most primates are capable of.
I guess, only I would call myself atheist and you are probably agnostic. I do believe though that it is dangerous to take mythology and magic seriously. The American faith healers is a good example of evil leaking out of religion and it is open to abuse. I could go out in the world and use...
You see this is the point. You don't need to believe in God to understand the basic message of Jesus. As an atheist I believe "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you", "let he without sin......" etc. In truth I think the real message of his life gets lost in Christian mythology when...
Yes. I have edited my last comment to something that stands out, and is the type of arguments Muslims will use.
First of all, there was no ‘test for virginity’ needed/used. In spite of the elaborate/miraculous one created by the later rabbis (ingenious, but altogether unnecessary) using the...
Blimey, I wish it were easier to read. At first glance and it really was a glance it looks like a load of apologetic gymnastic nonsense. Have you read it yourself? If you have what is it trying to say?
Edit: Oh no here we go:
First of all, there was no ‘test for virginity’ needed/used. In...
It was a good question and is why I asked DavidSouthampton, a Christian, and still waiting to find out. But it was in context of the Moses Genocide not whether it was inspired by or the word of God.
My unadulterated question was "How do Christians get around this problem?" and it was to DavidinSouthampton, who is Christian.
Your question to me was "If you believe the bible is truly the word of god, then why the hell shouldn't Christians still do those things?"
I dispute strongly that...
I'm not arguing either. You asked a question when you seem to be an expert in this field already.
Your question was: "If you believe the bible is truly the word of god, then why the hell shouldn't Christians still do those things?"
I gave you the current answer:
Then I am told this is not...
I was giving the current accepted view by Christians. If I said Christians believe their books are the words of God I would have been wrong as well wouldn't I?
Believing the Quran is the word of Allah is a condition to being Muslim. If they don't believe this they are ex Muslim.
You have missed my point that God ordered Moses to slaughter all the men, boys and female non virgins from the Midianite tribe. Christians say that Jesus is God. How you get around this. Do you claim the Old Testament is just a book of stories and Jesus the God is a different God in the Old...
The Old and New Testament are inspired by God but written by man. The Quran is Allah’s exact words and where the Quran gives a different detail to a story they will say it’s because the Bibles have been corrupted by man and the Quran has come to correct it.
Yep Muslims will only mention 5:32 which is plagiarised from the Jewish Talmud anyway. By avoiding to mention 5:33 is deception.
Babylonian Talmud : “Therefore the man was created singly, to teach that he who destroys one soul of a human being, the Scripture considers him as if he should...
